“Most impressively, 25 Native Americans have received the Medal of Honor for heroism.”

That is a truly impressive statistic (which, of course, does no justice to the men who earned the CMH), and I think that there is likely no ethnic group that even comes close as a percentage of either the population or of the armed forces. Grateful and appreciative thanks are due to those men, both dead and alive. Not being a Native American, and thus not knowing for sure, I believe that they would be honored to be called courageous warriors.

I always liked the Chinook, or, at least, its nickname.

Wow.

In other words, the Army's helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft bear names that reflect fierce and courageous warriors who also have fought well as part of the United States Army.

They were damn good fighters, and there is nothing wrong in recognizing that.

And what is wrong with that? THESE were tough tribes to beat! You had to be tough or they would have been beaten. They were so bad they struck fear into the other tribes around them. If they had had wimpish names they might have been whooped by tribes like the Kronkawas, Tonkawas, Wichitas, Colapissa, Bidai, Patiri, Pequoit, Otoe, an dhundreds of other tribes, and dozens of other tribes.

From my youth, I remember the name CHEYENNES sounded like a realy tough tribe. I would like to see what happens when the Cheyenne Dog soldiers meet the Norse Berserkers on and even ground with the same weapons.

helicopters will scalp you in a heartbeat if you don’t maintain a certain distance during certain circumstances...
